"Keep in mind, everyone sorta has to admit that CO2 by itself doesn’t do much. Even at current concentrations, it’s a teensy weensy bit of the atmosphere (.00038) that soaks up only a teensy weensy bit of the sun’s long-wave radiation at a particular high altitude in the tropics (the tropics account for about 80% of the Earth’s energy budget). Moreover, we have long since passed CO2 concentrations which are more than sufficient to flag down 99% of that wavelength."
- ajross 17y agoSigh. Snowfall tracks atmosphere water content, not temperature. In almost all climates, the "coldest winters" are uniformly the dryest. Oddly, it seems like the people who parade this canard (despite constant refutation by those who know what they're talking about) are also the least likely to be alarmed by heat waves...
- azgolfer 17y agoSo blizzards have nothing to do with cold temperatures ? The week of December 15th - 815 new snowfall records, 304 new cold records, and 403 lowest maximum temperature records. Seems like they go together to me.
- jrockway 17y agoSeems like they go together to me. Why yes, it seems like the climate is changing.
- nollidge 17y agoThis is apropos of nothing. ajross already pointed out the problem with the snowfall claim, and the article only talks about land surface warming, not CO2.
- whatusername 17y agoThe "global" in global warming implies more than the "world" in world series baseball. When you had those storms, it was pretty hot over here.
